I found the manual and tired it but I got the same black screen with cursor
>>58270809
I finally downloaded it, unfortunately I'm still stuck with the same infinite loading screen even with the CD inside

When I press the power button and then turn it on again I get the black screen with cursor
When I hold it I and then turn it on again it's the windows logo with the loading thingy and then after a while just the loading thingy
Am I fucked?

Don't know if this is a stupid question.. but does anyone know if you can buy entire back panels for custom builds?

For that use case hands down bitdefender. The free version is automatic as fuck. They also have a browser addon that marks how dangerous sites are in the search results. Limited user account is good, and use norton dns.

Kraken x62 was just released so they're getting rid of the old model.

x62 is better from what I've head but x61 is a solid AIO cooler too.

>>58273246
That's a long time to stretch a card. In the present though either one will work well for 1080p. Gigabyte is a mediocre brand, but 1060 beats out 480 slightly if they're priced about the same

Was this drive pulled from another system? You want to make sure that system reserved partition isn't important before deleting it. If you take out the hard drive does your system still boot?

>>58273564
Nope, brand new. I think those 100MBs might be the BIOS, since I first booted the computer with the HDD, then I added the SSD and installed Windows there. The Asus motherboard I have has this kind of BIOS.

So I know W10 is considered a botnet. Do people recommend 7, 8, or 8.1 then? Going to be doing a lot of gaming and coding.

>>58273017
Check its SMART report.
Check if its detected by a linux USB.

I have a windows 8 laptop thats been half filled with bloat for a while. I got ride of as much as I could but the thing is still slow on startup. Anyone got any trusted tools for speeding up a computer? Like registry cleaners and the like? Its a good computer, Its just filled with crap from the manufacturer.

>>58273602
External drives are generally rated at much lower load/unload cycle counts than their internal counterparts, meaning especailly in a laptop where load/unload is done frequently because of powersaving, the disk can die awfully quick.

>>58273604
Thanks but not what I am looking for.

>>58273654
Post Speccy.
Just reinstall windows.

>>58273613

It's not your bios, it's your boot files. Strictly speaking you don't need to do anything, this just means that both your HDD and SDD have to stay in your computer in order for windows to work. It's not hard to move the boot files over, it's just a little hard to explain the steps

>>58273613
>I think those 100MBs might be the BIOS
lol

I have a desktop currently with two hard drives connected, booting from C with D as extra storage. I want to install a fresh Windows with no external media.
Is it possible for me to turn D into a bootable installation image, boot from it, and then in the Windows install screen format C and install to that?

>>58273623
7 > 8.1 > 8
so yes get win 7 enterprise and be happy

>>58273675
Just searched it up, I'll leave the files there in case the SSD dies so I can install Windows again.

>>58273679
pls no bully

>>58273623
There's no consensus. Windows 7 is a little higher maintenance, but it's also pretty BS free. Bear in mind that some games will require windows 10, like the ones microsoft ports from the xbone

>>58273623
7 on desktops or laptops. 8.1 on laptops that have touch.

Power line adapters will work if all my lines are conntected to the same electrical panel right?

Is there a way to invert the use of the fn key. I dont want to press the fn everyteime when i want to change the volume. Cant fint anything in the bios settings.
I have a HP Elitebook 8470p

>>58273708
Ok, that's not what those do. It's not a recovery, it's your boot files. It's like a tiny folder that tells your computer where windows is located. If it gets deleted, windows can't start. Since it's not on the same drive as windows, it means you're now reliant on both drives to keep working

>>58273623
I used windows 10 for a week. There wasn't anything good enough that made me want to keep using it. I purged it from my drive and did a dual boot of win7 and ubuntu. I'm satisfied with the current setup. I use the win7 side for games and office and I use the ubuntu side for coding.

ok look for high cycle. At this point I'm just trying to get to the data I can order a different drive later if I want to still use the laptop. What I am most interested in is a brand type that allows easy access to the drive in the case without having to break it open or something.

>>58273931
They aren't

>>58272364
Tried it, doesn't work :/
>>58272394
I tried blindly navigating myself there but I don't want to accidentally factory reset or something

Theoretically, if I were to bring the laptop to repair shop, how could they go about fixing it? Considering it doesn't render anything but mouse cursors

>>58273931
They're not. They're MUCH cheaper than they used to be. They do cost more per GB than HDDs, but they're much faster

>>58273931
Old ones are still expensive.
New ones not so much.
They are still a luxury item and not something fundamental.

Cheap good quality ones are getting way cheaper.
See ADATA SU800.

Samsung will never release a new SSD because people keep buying 850 EVO nonstop at high prices.
Others companies must release something as good and cheaper.

>>58273946
If you booted up your recovery menu and that looked wonky too, your card just might be boned. If you can get bios up and switch to integrated that might help. A repair shop might try connecting a usb graphics adapter. It might be about time to call the manufacturer's help line

Can I use a USB to boot from, without erasing what's on it? Whether that's by partitioning it or otherwise?

>>58274033
a USB?

I didn't actually try booting into BIOS, but let's say I do and it still doesn't render a thing
Then I just turn it off the hard way, right?
I'm a bit paranoid
As for calling tech support, the hours are over, I might try tomorrow if I can't fix it by then

Hello.

My idiot roommate decided to reposition everything once again including my PC.

The moron took my internet cable, and connected my PC trough some secondhand pic-related wifi repeater he bought from who knows.

He played it off as all being fine and showed me by launching my computer, starting up internet / online game and of course it lagged like fucking crazy.

My question however, can these wifi repeaters damage or hurt one's computer / data?

I saw on the back of the adapter (pic related) some log in information, so I guess that way everyone can just keep track of my pc or even acess it? What about passwords I filled in?

Hopefully I'll get an answer. Thanksin advance.

>>58274984

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

I just bought this thing that is supposed to be 100x better than a HDD and now he's gonna die in like, 2 months or something?


Please, tell me this stuff about SSDs dying fast is bullshit.

>>58275620
Use hwinfo64 to find all the temperature meassurements that your CPU is doing, instead of letting a program pick the one it thinks is most likely - the compare that to what your BIOS/UEFI reports the temperature to be.

Where can hardware backdoors be placed in a computer system? Phone, PC, servers, whatever.

Is it primarily only in a processor chip of some kind?

I can think of other places undocumented firmware could be placed in a machine, but if it's not on a chip of some sort it doesn't seem it would be very capable/difficult to mitigate.

>>58275407

Nope.

>>58275407
Yes. You want to use a tool called easyBCD. Again it's not a complex process, it's just a little hard to explain.

>>58275682
If your UEFI and harddrive support all the right standards (TCG OPAL SATA, specifically), it's possible to use ATA Security + hardware crypto in the drives firmware to lock down a disk so it can only be accessed with the right password.

>>58275837
Note that unless you only ever shut down your computer (never use sleep or hibernation), there are ways to bypass even this: https://www.blackhat.com/docs/eu-15/materials/eu-15-Boteanu-Bypassing-Self-Encrypting-Drives-SED-In-Enterprise-Environments.pdf

>>58275858
However, if you set both master and user password and every piece of hardware supports the standards, and you never suspend/hibernate the computer (in which case I'd recommend getting an NVMe SSD as they speed up boot/shutdown to a matter of ~15 seconds), you have encryption that probably only NSA can break.

Unsure of if this goes here, any how Aut/o/fag here.

I built a system two years ago, and with tax returns coming up in the next month or so, I'm looking to upgrade or possibly build another gaming focused PC

I don't keep up with the latest and greatest chip sets and motherboards and Vidcards, since Im more of a car/motorcycle guy.

So the question is, Should I upgrade from what I have now, or should I build another, and if either of those any suggestions as to whats the best parts but still with reasonable price?

>>58275743
If you mean physical backdoors, they can be added to a mobo pretty easily. In terms of firmware anything with USB access can be malignant, you could easily take over a PC with disk drive firmware. The worst threat is bios/uefi malware, which is supprisingly easy to infect and potentially impossible to remove. That could straight up circumvent any protections that you have. Intel chips also have phone home capablilites that don't need a system OS to work, and anything like that has the potential to be hijacked

Fine, I'll answer your idiotic question, just to shut you the fuck up by needlessly bumping the thread. WIfi is on ISM bands that's got noise floors in cities of something on the order of -60dB, meaning it's essentially impossible to not get packetloss on any kind of traffic. Effectively, this means even the best wifi equipment will be completely inefficent at pushing any kind of traffic through that congested a medium. It's like trying to swim through the image attached to this post.

That is pretty much a Wi-Fi router.
If you used one in the past, then by now you have answered yourself.
It works as a wired repeater bridge, but instead of being used to extend a wireless signal, it transform your ethernet signal in a wifi network.

The login on the back is used when you need to give mainteance to the router itself, and it's asked when you connect to it's IP (Something in the 192.168.x.x range)
It is not related to your computer.

They're mostly interested in either cryptolocking your computer for a 1 time blackmail fee of risking to lose your data (can be easily mitigated by having a verifiable backup copy that's not always-onlline, so it can't be affected) or making your computer part of a botnet so they can use it for spam/earning money/ddos.

The latest estimates on the IoT botnet predict that it is capable of in excess of 1TBps (terabytes! not bits) per second to any point or points on the internet - this level of traffic is probably enough to cause whole parts of the internet to de-link.

Yeah I've been reading about that. And potential backdoors in the baseband processors of smartphones.

I'm not a computer science guy, but I've been doing research and trying to look at exactly where these ominous "backdoors" can be placed and it all seems really dystopian and overwhelming. kill me.

>>58276417
Tier1 providers losing connection to other tier1 providers. They're the backbone of the internet and don't pay for transit or peering between each other, but they have limits to how much traffic they're willing to accept, and an IoT botnet could in theory exceed this. Why they'd want to, is entirely another question that I'm not qualified to answer.

>>58276337
>>58276366

That is definitely where the real shit is gonna go down. But that's a different problem. Backdooring internet-of-things devices is basically irrelevant at this point because there are so many of them and so little security exists in the first place. And we're barely getting started. Pretty soon that shit's gonna be strapped on to every loaf of bread we buy

>>58276473
Let me get this straight, since i didn't understand a thing:

Internet will begin to break up because the amount of data of some devices may exceed their self imposed maximum.

I'm sure ISPs will just create premium plans for 8Tbps+ connections which will, in return, allow them to pay such higher equipment.

File: not even the monitor is safe.jpg (35KB, 579x198px) Image search: [Google]

I bought a gaymen monitor and it only reaches 60 Hz instead of 144. I thought it was the HDMI, but I'm using the same cable that came in the box.

>>58276557
The internet won't begin to break up - it's self-healing, and once the attack stops it'll go back to working like it did before. They're called Distributed Denial of Service attacks, and are only temporary. Worst-case, the providers agree to nullroute traffic coming from the worst offenders, until a more permanent solution can be found.

8Tbps is 1TBps - that's what's the lower limit of what the IoT botnet estimates are already giving as figures. It may be much higher.

>>58276557
I don't know if what he's saying is true or not, but what he's talking about is something more along the lines of a DDOS so huge it can take an ISP offline.

>>58276599
Sometimes you need to actually tell the monitor it should be using more than 60Hz. This can be done in the monitor control panel, or likely some place in the AMD driver panel, whatever it's called.

>>58276613
>Once the attack stops
Which could take months. We may not even have a way of stopping it.

As an example, look at Telia as one of the tier1s - they currently carry on the order of 1Tbps traffic both in and out - that's only 1/8 the amount of unidirectional traffic we're talking here.

>>58276724
There's still ways for Tier1s to get in contact with each other outside of the internet, and they can agree to nullroute traffic coming from particularily bad offenders. There are ways around it, but not ones that don't disrupt broader internet connectivity for a long time, no.

Built my new computer back in November (Asus z170a, i5 6500, Rx 480 8GB)
Never installed latest drivers (apart from GPU). However I did install the latest Windows Updates at the time.

Everything worked fine. Playing Overwatch and other games my GPU never went above 55 and was averaging around 47

I recently decided to update my drivers (chipset, sata, gpu) and did all my windows updates. Now I get some random lockups on my computer where it all freezes for half a second then resumes. my GPU now also never goes below ~54 and reaches temps of 60+

If WPS is disabled, you have to go to a dictionary attack http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-wi-fi-cracking-wpa2-psk-passwords-using-aircrack-ng-0148366/, which may take quite a while, and if your neighbour has set a good password, could take forever

buy a stronger wifi adapter and look for something that isn't that

I just upgraded from a GigaByte GeForce gtx 760, to a EVGA Geforce gtx 1070 and I unistalled and reinstalled all of the right drivers but the 1070 still performs very bad. I tried a bunch of troubleshoots to see if that would solve it, but it didn't. Can anyone think of what's going wrong?
